States' spend on roads likely to increase at growth rate of 22% by FY21: ICRA

08 May 2019 Evaluate

Forecasting positive outlook, credit rating agency, ICRA in its latest report said that capital expenditure by states on their roads is likely to increase at a growth rate of 22% to Rs 1.43 lakh crore by FY 2021 from Rs 96,000 crore in FY 2019, supported by several expressway projects launched/announced by Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The report further noted that road expressway project would give fillip to capex in the sector in these two states.

The rating agency further made a prediction of state wise expenditure on roads, saying that in Maharashtra, the estimated spend in case of Nagpur-Mumbai expressway alone is Rs 35,000 crore over next three years in addition to proposed road improvement programme through hybrid annuity mode, while in UP, for Purvanchal and Ganga expressways together, the estimated spend over next three years is around Rs 20,000 crore.

Further, report said that historically, the cumulative spend by the state governments on roads was much higher than the central government spend on national highways but most of it went unnoticed because of low proportion of public private partnership projects, wide dispersion across various geographies and authorities and most of these contracts were smaller in terms of value which were lapped up by the local EPC contractors.
